  2. 2. CAUTIONARY AND TECHNICAL NOTES 2 This presentation does not constitute an offering of securities and the information contained herein is subject to the information contained in the Company's continuous disclosure documents. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stipulated. This presentation is accurate as of the date specified in the title page, but may be superseded by subsequent disclosure, including news releases and quarterly reports. Forward-looking Statements: Forward-looking Statements: This presentation, including the oral discussion associated therewith, includes certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements", and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). These statements appear in a number of places in this presentation and include statements regarding our intent, or the beliefs or current expectations of our officers and directors, including statements regarding plans for steps to begin producing at Reward and Bullfrog and timing for doing so; that substantial synergies can be realized between the projects; that free cash flow from Reward can be used to fund development of Bullfrog; exploration plans and potential; timing for further studies at Reward and Bullfrog; and plans to pursue accretive acquisitions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation words such as "intends", "expects", "will” and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward- looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements since the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. These known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements, including the risks, uncertainties and other factors identified in the Company's periodic filings with Canadian securities regulators, and assumptions made with regard to the Company securing adequate financing; the results of the Company’s studies; the Company’s board making positive construction decisions at each of Reward and Bullfrog; assumptions regarding potential construction at Reward and Bullfrog, generally; assumptions regarding the price of gold; the ability to advance exploration efforts at the Reward Bullfrog Project; the results of such exploration efforts; regulatory approvals; and the Company’s ability to advance its projects and achieve its growth objectives. While the Company considers these assumptions to be reasonable, based on information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management's and/or its Qualified Persons' good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. Actual performance or results may differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date those statements are made. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation to update or to publicly announce any change to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect actual results, future events or developments, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting the forward- looking statements. If we update any one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. You should not place undue importance on forward-looking statements and should not rely upon these statements as of any other date. All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Technical Information: The scientific and technical information contained in this presentation related to the mineral resource estimate at the Reward Project is based upon the Company’s news release titled, “Augusta Gold Announces Reward Mineral Resource Estimate” and dated June 7, 2022, for which the scientific and technical disclosure related to the Reward Project resource estimate was approved by Michael Dufresne, who is a “Qualified Person” under NI 43-101 and subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The scientific and technical information contained in this presentation related to the Bullfrog Project is based upon the technical report titled, “NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate Bullfrog Gold Project Nye County, Nevada” with an effective date of December 31, 2021, and prepared by Russ Downer and Adam House who are “Qualified Persons” under NI 43-101 and subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The remaining scientific and technical information contained in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Donald Taylor, who is a “Qualified Person” under NI 43-101 and subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Cautionary Note to United States Investors Regarding Estimates of Resources and Reserves: We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves and mineral resources according to two different standards. U.S. reporting requirements are governed by S-K 1300. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by NI 43-101. Both sets of reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but the standards embody slightly different approaches and definitions. In our public filings in the U.S. and Canada and in certain other announcements not filed with the SEC, we disclose proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, each as defined in S-K 1300 and NI 43-101. As currently reported, there are no material differences in our disclosed proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resource under each of S-K 1300 and NI 43-101. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involve greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves, and therefore investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into S-K 1300-compliant or NI 43-101-compliant reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources, and therefore it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.
